Another reminder to disregard all PFF grades

Madden ratings are more accurate these days

He played solid against Ravens for mostly the whole game. Texans are a better defense and he looked abysmal I don’t know if it’s the gameplan or Dak or both but they play tough teams and get cute. They don’t have the defense to play as cute as they think they are.

I actually think Dak made more difficult throws and spread the ball around much better against the Ravens. To me, this game - although it was the Texans D and they do deserve respect - was very simple because all he had to do was read coverage they were throwing Pickens and then find Lamb. They made a decision to frustrate Pickens by blanketing him and then seeing if they could single Lamb.

As for the defense, I am actually a bit higher on Christian Parker after 4 games than most here are. It's easy to blame the D when the O has been getting all the love for YEARS on this team. The defense has been a rudderless ship when all these different coordinator (and their staff's staff) and team leaders - Osi being the last one who was traded in the offseason. So what Parker has done in assembling talent, getting buy in from serious vets who want to win now and then calling games and seeing steady improvement has been impressive to me. Then you add all the young players and injuries. He's got his hands full and it's week 4.

Hold on, it's possible though. Dak nearly threw a few picks and Brisset could have had INTs that hit the receivers in the hands and bounced into the defeneder's. Unlike fans who feel good, PFF tries to take an analytical approach. And sometimes the result obscures the performance. I actually think Dak played better vs the Ravens as far as throwing the ball...so it's possible for a guy to have a not-so-great stat sheet but grade high on PFF.

No

PFF who?

I think it's where people go to find somehting to argue about on CowboysZone.

I stopped taking them serious about 10 years ago when they referred to free agent bust nate livings as a stud after his turnstile season in Dallas.

No

About as eloquent as one could expect with a handle like that.

Their QB grades aren't about stats they are about consistency. They did a whole segment on grading the QB when they first came out.

Just woke up and my mind is still adjusting.

We can all agree that there is no perfect rating system for grading a player's contributions. If there were, the draft would be a more exact science.

That said, given their formula, it's entirely POSSIBLE for Brisset to throw 3 INTs with less yardage but grade higher - and that doesn't have to be ridiculous either. Dropped passes, end of half Hail Mary INTs, etc. count as real interceptions, but given PFF's formula, they don't count that against the QB as much. That's all I'm saying...it's possible.

PFFis a joke. Collinsworth sold the systems and engineers in March to a jock-bro tech company for millions and a stake in their company.

He fired almost everyone still with PFF, only leaving enough to keep the billing and website running and a guy to keep the AI content creation server cooled and watered. Oh, there’s one last human public face he kept on to tweet stuff out and give the illusion they still create content.

Now they use the sub money to license back the data they once owned and use the above mentioned ai to generate their grades.

Thanks, now I hate even more PFF.

Layoffs are nasty.
